I Built a Redis Alternative in Rust — MnemeCache

Redis is great. But it has problems I could not ignore: TLS is off by default No per-request consistency control Basic user permissions So I built MnemeCache — named after Mnemosyne, the Greek goddess of memory. How It Works Two types of nodes: Core (God Node) — holds everything in RAM, serves all requests, never touches disk Keepers — save data to disk via WAL + snapshots, push data back when Core restarts What Makes It Different TLS always on — auto-generated, no configuration needed Per-request consistency: EVENTUAL → fastest QUORUM → majority must confirm (default) ALL → every node must confirm Real RBAC — admin, readwrite, readonly roles with per-database restrictions Honest Status Not production ready yet. No published benchmarks. Linux only. Custom protocol so Redis clients do not work. I am sharing this for feedback from people who use cache systems daily.
